Why are the 7.3 suggesting a shrinking of the WIN98 partition to 4GB ??.
Are you sure you're not overreacting? I have a 10GB *total* disk that I installed SuSE to (Win98 on the first 2GB), and the installer offered me an option of shrinking, but also offered me the option of simply using the remaining space...
Hi Jon. I'm not sure what you are meaning with "overreacting" ??.
I was not offered to use the remaining space.
I installed 7.3 on to my laptop yesterday so my recollection of the sequence is pretty good. SuSE recommended a shrink of WinME to 4 GB and the options were: 1. Accept recommendation 2. Modify recommendation 3. Discard recommendation I chose Item 3 and then selected custom partitioning on the next installer screen. With custom partitioning everyone can be happy. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government? DH/DSS Key - 0x7A1BEA01
